Good fights ending with a lame explanation

It begins with "Who are these people and why are they fighting?" Cut to an outdoor martial arts class under mushrooms. The master sends Chi Kuan-Chun on a mission and Li Yi-Min wants to go too. Master does not take him seriously. Li Yi-Min goes to town and after beating up a fortune teller who accurately tells him what he does not want to hear ends up at a rich man's house because of his kung fu skills. He is soon off on a mission with a list of killers to bring in. Chi Kuan-Chun also arrives at the same house and is given the same mission. It is soon revealed that these killers have since reformed. One has even become a monk. Nevertheless both our guys continue on their mission. As for bringing them in, they kill them instead. There is a mystery here that can only be explained by a long expositional dialog.

I liked the way this movie combined the two different styles of fighting of the two leads and the different personalities. Acrobatic and straight up, comedic and stoic. 

I rate this as only average for the year and genre despite the fights being above average the exposition just did not hold water.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

Chi is the master of Wing Chung Kung Fu, which has devastatingly close quarter combat techniques. Lee is the student of the Buddha's Palm, a high level style from the Shaolin Temple. Together they're unbeatable.
